The Pullman Strike ended in 1894 when federal troops were sent to break the strike at the request of the U.S. government, leading to violent confrontations and the eventual defeat of the strikers. None of the options provided (A, B, C, D) accurately reflect the actual outcome or resolution of the Pullman Strike. The strike effectively ended after the federal intervention and the arrest of Eugene V. Debs, who was a key leader in the strike but did not become the company president or lead to the rehiring of workers.
